Hello! Life is often challenging and many people struggle on their own. I understand it can be a difficult decision to ask for help, but therapy is a great way to find support. It is my desire to work with you to help identify goals and develop a plan together to address and resolve your current struggles. I am a trauma-informed therapist, and have specialized training in this area. I work with a variety of issues, such as trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or assisting people in connecting more deeply with others and increasing satisfaction in their relationships.

Are you struggling with feeling comfortable with your sexual self? Have you ever felt guilt or shame about your sexual curiosities and/or desires? Do you find it difficult to communicate your sexual needs and desires with your partner(s) or potential partner(s)? Are you experiencing other areas of your relationship also suffering at the same time? I use a sex-positive approach that I find to be professionally essential while working with clients around issues or concerns of their sexuality. Using this approach promotes open and honest communication. I reframe from using language characterized as dehumanizing or even judgmental.

Trouble communicating with your teen? Unable to break the cycle of arguments with your partner? Overwhelmed and not sure why? Our interactions with the world are shaped by our families and the broader cultures that surround us as we grow up. As an adult, you might find that those patterns no longer work for you, or get in the way of your having fulfilling relationships with your spouse or children.

After decades in the healthcare field as a staff, student, psychologist, educator and executive leader, I am embracing a new chapter by providing psychological and consultation services. Over time, I have worked, supervised, taught, and mentored successful individuals who have called me, “visionary, strategic, results oriented, culturally and emotionally attuned, practical, funny and caring” among many others. I appreciate the fact that no one size fits all. I also understand that cultural, environmental, and contextual factors are integral in our decisions whenever we come to a fork on the road and must be make one.

I'M SORRY, I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW OR RETURNING CLIENTS. Do you lay awake worrying about your relationship, your family, money, your job, or your life in general? Feel stressed out, unable to relax? Wish you could "stop the world and get off" for while? Therapy is a good place to do just that. To help you figure out what's not working, and new ways to approach old problems. Like how to talk to your partner without getting into the same fight over and over. Or how to get your kid to stop "talking back." Or maybe you just need someone to talk to, who won't judge you.

Your healing matters. Healing can often look like having stronger boundaries, less avoidance, improved work performance, and more satisfaction in relationships. Unresolved trauma can make your relationships, parenting, work performance, bodily functioning, and overall day-to-day routine feel unbearable. I provide therapy short-term or long-term to help you cope with what is lingering e.g. stress, anxiety, depression, or triggers to previous trauma. I adapt my therapy style depending on the person and context because each responds differently to psychotherapy. Providing a safe space is always my first priority.

Hi! If I have learned one thing in life it's that change is difficult, particularly without help. I offer the opportunity to work collaboratively through what's keeping you from living the life you always thought you would have. Therapy can help one let go of patterns and beliefs, often subconscious, that aren't working. And changing our assumptions about the world and improving our relationships can result in profoundly positive changes and a life worth embracing! I look forward to helping you realize those changes.

Often a person will seek out counseling when personal attempts to solve a problem have not worked. Therapy is a safe and supportive environment in which to explore very personal concerns - concerns that may be difficult to share even with those closest to you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I can provide a different kind of support than family and friends; I will listen objectively, not be judgmental, and help you to find your own solutions.
My role is to help you feel better and to assist you to acheive your own personal goals.

Life is full of challenges which may include difficulty in one's personal relationships. Seeking therapy can be intimidating, but I will provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for one to share their thoughts and feelings. Therapy provides a healthy outlet to learn new skills to improve interpersonal relationships and overall mental health. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work and have been in the field for the past 19 years. I thoroughly enjoy working with the adult population. I personally know how therapy can help tremendously during low periods of life. Therapy should provide mental healing and wholeness!
